A Past Look at Harrison County

One of the most interesting things about our county is it's past. Below are just a handful of pictures and information that show what our county was. There are
hundreds of pictures of Harrison County so please share so we can put them in a gallery on our website. Just email pictures and the information to the email address on this page.

The Cadiz Drive-In was located on US 250 south of town. It was opened on July 13, 1950, featuring “Without Reservations” starring Claudette Colbert and John Wayne. It
had a parking ramp that held 300 cars, and Tallmadge Wilson was the theatre manager. Ross Compher and Chester Hall were the owners. In 1963 it was sold to new owners. Co-Operative Theatres of Ohio
was the booking and buying agency.

The Cadiz Drive-In was closed at the end of 1984 and it is now used as an auto-parts yard.

The town of Tappan and then Tappan Lake being made. It is quite fascinating to know that a town was once where the lake is now.
